City of Des Plaines Government there’s a lot of residents out of work. Is the city planning on doing anything at all to help? I mean, a lot of us have nothing but time on our hands right now.

I am glad they use the Casino money for capital and infrastructure and not the operating budget. If there is a big downturn, Elk Grove will be worse off I think. I hope it works out for them, it will take years to know.

Wished I still lived in Rosemont as they would pay my condo prop tax, most of the yearly total assessment, give me a garden plot by Allstate arena and a few other perks too. Hopefully I’ll buy a property there in the future either at Executive Estates or Glenlake. At least I work across the street from there now.
